Yes I agree it is immoral and detestable and was also the softest option for the day. No other contemporary culture had any protection for indentured servants, yet the Bible demands it at the threat of community judgment against the harsh and cruel masters. And the children of indentured servants were free citizens.

Compared to today it was still brutal and inumane, but was the MOST humane option for literally 3000 years. It’s just not progressive compared to today’s values.

And today’s values won’t seem very progressive to progressive humans in 3000 years either, something you are probably incapable of understanding.

again history proves you wrong, how can you be so deliberately stubborn?

If you take even a few minutes to check you’ll find that most governments older than 300 years were founded on a religious basis, and Rome was a pretty long running empire that was largely based on religion just as one example.

The modern drive for secularism is an outlier in human history, and according to the way the world looks now, secularism is on the way out.

I’m not saying I like the direction its going but there are pretty clear warnings that conservative evagelicalism is becoming as culturally foundational as a thing can be in the coming fascist regime.

You have this smug attitude that stems from your ideological values, and somehow feel saying things like ‘religion bad mmmkay’ is sufficient to turn the world away from the coming regressive religious dark age.

But it isn’t, and really just makes you look foolish.

Humans have a hole in their brains in the shape of rituals and shared language that we neglect because ‘religion just the opiate of the masses amirite?’ and now you are seeing the pendulum swing back.

Incorrect, there wasn’t a single stoning recorded for wearing mixed fibers, that’s just some hokum the ratheist community settled on for some reason

I guess you don’t know your history very well…

Can you name 3 differences between chattel slavery and indentured servitude? I can name five but I don’t expect you to be as well researched.

Probably the most relevant book ever written, certainly the most read.

fuck off bot

Then those people are just as culpable for fascism’s rise and I will treat them as such.
